  • I basically rewrote all of polybar using eww widgets because I didn’t like how polybar was too rigid in certain aspects.

    So lots of scripts handling audio control, dark/light mode, i3 workspace switching, media control, login session management, weather widgets calling external APIs, etc. It was a whole ecosystem of tools and widgets.

    I just recently bought a new computer with an AMD GPU so I’m finally running Hyprland, and now I’m using Waybar. But I might start a project to do it all again using Astal. Who knows. Or maybe Waybar will be able to suffice. We shall see.







  • I think the problem is that people don’t want to be just “other”. Because that’s what “xer” is.

    I am cis and straight, so I don’t have full comprehension of what it feels like not to conform to the norm, but even I understand that if we have only one other pronoun, like “xer”, it’s just saying “the one that isn’t the norm”, and it doesn’t matter if you make it sound like one of the other “normal” pronouns. That doesn’t normalize it. It just silently, yet officially and publicly reaffirms its abnormal quality.

    We have to realize that there’s obviously a floating spectrum here, and people don’t fall into predefined buckets sometimes. Some do, but some don’t.

    The human brain is built and evolved into a categorization machine. What is edible, what isn’t. What is attractive, what isn’t. What is safe, what isn’t. Black and white, good and evil. We want it simple, and we get confused, afraid, and angry when it isn’t simple. This is something we must recognize about ourselves, and really work hard to go against if we want to evolve our way of thinking.

    This is clearly evident in the way you express yourself here.

    THEN THAT WOULD BE YOUR NAME

    friggin annoying

    Please, can you just be like everyone else

    most people would be fine with this

    my special snowflake pronoun

    Your anger and fear of the complicated shines through much brighter than you might think. I think it’s time you sat down and had a big, long thinking about who you want to be and what you really want to say.

    Much love to you, and thank you for opening yourself up.
